Lead Engineer – Avionics & Integration

The Role: 

​You will be working on electrical architecture and sensor integration. You will be working to design, build, and integrate the power and data architecture that allows a high-performance Flight Controller, Edge Compute, and multi-spectral payloads to operate flawlessly.

What You Will Do

• Design and fabricate an architecture to support high performance harnesses.
• You will be required to design custom Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to isolate sensitive electronics from ignition noise.
• Physically integrate complex payloads (multi-spectral cameras, optical sensors, rangefinders, and stabilized gimbals) and ensure they talk to the Mission Computer.

Key Responsibilities

• Power Architecture: Design custom PCBs for power regulation to convert high-voltage battery or power sources to clean avionics power.
• Harness Design: Create detailed wiring schematics and fabrication drawings. Execute the build using high fidelity connectors and proper strain relief.
• Electro Magnetic Interference: Implement shielding strategies to protect GPS and Magnetometers from high-frequency system and motor noise.
• Protocol Integration: Write and debug low-level drivers for hardware integration using CAN Bus, UART, I2C, and Ethernet.

Requirements

• Minimum Qualifications:

  • M.Tech (Mandatory) in Avionics/ Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE)/Computer Engineering. Preferably a Tier-1 Institute (IITs, NITs, or global top 100).
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in Robotics, Automotive (EVs), or Unmanned systems.

• Preferred Qualifications:

  • Specialization in Avionics Systems, Aerospace Electronics, or Control Systems Engineering.
  • Experience in integrating flight controllers, flight computers, sensors, and electronic subsystems.

• Skills & Abilities:

  • PCB Design: Expert proficiency in Altium Designer (High-speed routing is a plus).
  • Fabrication: You must be comfortable soldering 0402 components and crimping industrial connectors.
  • Debugging: Mastery of Oscilloscopes and Logic Analyzers to debug bus errors.

Application Requirement: Attach photos of a PCB or Wiring Harness you have personally designed and built.
